User:Hearing X3 Review Tab2
The Royal National Institute for Deaf People issued Hearing X3 a report that spoke of the loud music and rock concerts so popular today. It indicated that "these trends in youth culture have generated an inexorable rise in noise exposure and pose a serious threat to the hearing of an entire generation." The report indicated that 23% of young people regularly listen to loud music. Those attending clubs where loud music is played are three times more likely to develop tinnitus than the normal population.
Because ear ringing tinnitus is a result of a number of ailments there is no single treatment. Most tinnitus sufferers have permanent damage to the small hairs in their inner ear that respond to sound waves. When these hairs are operating properly they detect sounds and trigger nerves to the brain that particular frequencies of sound are being heard. When these hairs break under too much stress from loud sounds the damage is permanent. The brain usually gets a continuous signal that a certain frequency of sound is being heard. This results in tinnitus.
Since much of tinnitus is due to permanent damage, treating tinnitus is largely directed toward managing and living with the noise. One popular way of treating tinnitus is to use white noise generators to produce wide spectrum sounds that can cover up the tinnitus sounds. This will keep the tinnitus sufferer from being distracted by the tinnitus noise. This is effective if the tinnitus sounds are relatively mild. Another solution being tried is to train the brain to ignore the tinnitus noise.
